    Had one of those McDonalds all in breakfast rolls the other week, where they ask red or brown sauce.

    Nearly said neither, but went for brown. When I bit into it, thought they'd ****ed up as was sweet and, basically, ****ing horrible.

    But no, it was indeed brown. So, McShit have managed to add a bag of sugar to each of their brown sauce servings now, bravo.

    Will not swerve from a Sausage and McMuffin ever again.

    Had some salsa on my sandwich just now. Basically no calories and has a tiny kick to it. A solid enough alternative. 8/10.

    Growing up I always liked Daddies Brown Sauce but tried it again recently and either it's changed or (more likely) I just never realised how liquid it was compared to HP. I like Stokes more as I find it less sweet and more tangy, it's more expensive but a bottle lasts ages anyway in my house (I'm the only one who likes it) so **** it.

    McDonaldss might be a guilty pleasure for me, I swerve it almost entirely but go once or twice a year with the kids (well drive thru). I do really enjoy it but suspect I'd get sick of it quickly if I had it more. Plus I always feel like it's a snack more than a meal.

    If you think that's gay...

    I'm going with ABBA. Never too fussed about them in the past but my daughter loves them (she's 8) and after initially being irritated by it being on I've actually realised I kind of like them and suspect I'll still listen to it occassionally once she's moved out in years to come.

    I'd second Taylor Swift too, my wife got the albums but I happily put them on.

    ps. Dua Lipa is utterly gorgeous, if we're going to start listing women like that as a guilty pleasure we're going to be here for some time. I guess if i was nobbing her on the side then it'd be a pleasure I felt guilty about; possibly not though.

    They'll have managed to **** it up in modernising it. This stuff was nice.

    I could have sworn there was a Brown Sauce called Tiger Sauce when I was a kid, but can't find a pic of it.

    Had a McD's pre match Saturday as my lad a had a couple of the Monopoly freebie things. Was ****e.

    I do rate the McMuffin breakfasts though.

    Was wondering where I'd seen Ketchup banned recently - was actually Clarkson's pub near Burford just off the A40 as we were coming back from South Wales weekend before last ...

    Again, they just don’t stock it. It’s a failing business trying to get a bit of free advertising saying they’ve “banned” condiments. The teenage chef on his third joint of the shift isn’t going to give a toss if you pour a sachet of Heinz on his microwaved chicken dippers.

    Always been an ABBA fan .

    Never stopped being a fan .

    They made brilliant pop songs ,and were brilliant as a pop group .

    I’m not aware they ever pretended to be anything else :)

    The opposite of a guilty pleasure. The Beatles were terrible. Abba did fun dumb songs and that was their schtick. How **** was everyone else that The Beatles made it that big?

    I was looking through youtube only a couple days ago and came across a few ABBA songs, rather have them than the Beatles for sure. Think their music just makes me think of the past, harder times but seemed a much more freer and laid back world. Think the availability to knowledge is easier and better now, not sure it;s made the world any a better place though.

    The ‘we only serve British’ part of the link rather than the headline which is designed for the sort of mugs who read The Express.

    Yeah we did this one before. It’s a marketing gimmick from what was a failing chain that got sold off shortly after. The ‘chef’ at Frankie and Benny’s doesn’t give a **** if you bring your own ketchup.

    So we can conclude by saying some eateries have indeed banned ketchup - excellent

    It's even more pronounced on the continent - especially France.
